Wow, it's February already!

So, here I am... no excuse as to why I haven't blogged except that I just don't have much energy for anything. Being the pregnancy veteran that I am, I know this won't last much longer, but it's just getting so old. As a matter of fact, I'm forcing myself to sit here and type now just as I forced myself to do some things around the house this morning even though my body was telling me to take a nap. (Don't worry, I'll listen to my body and take a nap in a few minutes... I know it's for a reason.)

Part of me wants to say not much has been going on around here, but then when I really think about it A LOT has been going on...

Tommy is getting REALLY good at communicating. He seems to amazingly understand just about everything we say now. I love asking him a question and watching him react by either doing what I asked him to do or answering me with real or made up words.

Last week I had my first OB appointment and had a quick ultrasound. It was confirmed that there was only ONE baby (Thank you Jesus!) and that he or she is growing just as they should be. At the end of March I will be having the "big" ultrasound. Full exam of the baby and the exciting revealing of the gender. Part of me wants another boy, another part a girl. This is the first time I have not wanted one gender more than the other. I got exactly what I wanted with the other three, so we shall see. Bobby, naturally, wants another boy. If this baby is a boy, his name has already been picked out... you're just dying to know what it is, aren't you? LOL

This last weekend we finally got a new mattress for our bed. It got so bad that we were at the point of barely sleeping in it. Now we are able to REST at night without MASSIVE BACK PAIN. It's been wonderful.

The planning of Tommy's 1st Birthday Party is underway. It looks like it'll mostly be adults so far, but that's ok. We're going with a Sesame Street theme and keeping the guest list to family. It makes me sad that Jeff won't be here, since their birthdays are only 2 days apart and it would be so fun to have a combined birthday, but I'm sure one day they'll be able to celebrate together at some point.

My morning to night sickness is still with us, but is lightening up slowly but surely. From my past experiences, I know it'll disappear a little more when I get my energy back. I'm really looking forward to this occurance in the next few weeks, but I have a feeling Bobby is even more excited about it.

So now I'm going to go rest and take my nap. I may or may not blog later about a recent trend that is a big pet peeve of mine...

I know this blog is just oh so interesting... get over it.
